Blues receive louie barry transfer response amid aston villa 'whispers'

Birmingham City have been told signing Louie Barry from bitter rivals Aston Villa would be a “great deal”. And former Villans player Lee Hendrie says he’s heard whispers a deal could be

struck between Villa and Blues owners Knighthead for the 21-year-old forward. Villa are said to be preparing to sanction another loan move for Barry, while Blues are understood to have held

internal talks about launching a bid for him. Speaking about the possibility of a deal between the two clubs, Hendrie told Football League World: “I think signing Louie Barry would be a

great deal for Birmingham City. “I've heard a lot of reports and a lot of whispers about Louie Barry going to Birmingham City, so it wouldn't surprise me.” “He did brilliant things

at Stockport, got injured at Hull City and that's what hampered him really going and kicking on and proving that he's well worthy of playing in the Championship,” he added. “I

think he is well worthy. They've got a really good manager at Birmingham who plays a nice style of football that would suit Barry’s game. “He's versatile, he can play through the

middle, he can play out wide, which would suit Birmingham, as they have got players that can chop and change throughout their front line. “I think Louie Barry would be a great addition for

Birmingham City, particularly going into the Championship with new, fresh ideas.” WOULD THE DEAL MAKE SENSE FOR BOTH VILLA AND BLUES? TELL US HERE
